August 4, 2001. We met at Moser-Woods Plantation in Denton, North Carolina. | |
 Hans sings Le Ranz des Vaches -- calling the cows and praising God! |
 Everyone joins in a rousing chorus of Uf dr Simmenthaler Bahn...Uhm, oho aha!!! |
 For the first time we had French-speaking Swiss folk from Lausanne with us. |
 Blitz the goat. |
 Hay ride to see the plantation. |
 Kling-klang... |
 Welcome and a bit of history from Roby Loflin, Hans's neighbor. |
 Emu burgers and Bratwurst on the grill. |
 Lots of fellowship around the tables. |
 We sang Happy Birthday to Aimee. |
 Miriam Kunz won the door prize, a Swiss watch, for guessing the closest to the number of legs that Hans feeds on his farm plus the number of firewood stacks. (Total 199). |
 Kurt Niederer gave a speech that drew spiritual parables from events in Swiss history. |
 We sang the US national anthem and the Swiss national hymn. |
 The Unspunnen-Stein rock-throwing contest. |
 A fantastic evening. |
 Great fireworks. |
 A tremendous glow from the... |
 huge bonfire to close a perfect party. |
